As a South Indian having Instant Homemade Mango Pickle with yogurt and rice is cocoon food for me.

I always feel cosy and happy instantly after a few bites of this.Such a classic combination.

I have tried this pickle a few times with other spices and temperings,and found that this recipe tastes the best.And what i like is it gets ready in no time,the only thing that takes time is the marination.

Do try it some day ! It is good,really good.

As it is just me and hubby at home,i make a very small batch of this.I hate keeping things in the fridge for too long,but you may double the recipe for a bigger batch.

You also need a clean glass jar or bowl,microwave for 1 min after washing it.It must be free of any water.

After washing the mango,dry it with a towel and then cut it in small pieces.

Mix well with salt and red chili powder,best if you use gloves or just a plastic wrap wrapped to your hands for mixing.
Pickles have longer shelf life if they are untouched by hands.I like to think that,but it depends on how you want to do it.

Keep it covered near a sunny spot for 4/6 hours.If you do not have a sunny spot,just keep it on your kitchen counter for a few hours.It will still taste great.

After letting it sit for a few hours,drain the liquid and get ready for tempering.

Add 2/3 tsp veg oil and temper with mustard seeds,hing,curry leaf and the fenugreek seeds.
Then quickly add the turmeric and crushed red chili,make sure to not burn them,add the mango now.

Toss for 2/3 min and now your done.If you feel you need more salt,feel free to add some.

And now you can serve your very own Tasty Home made Instant Mango Pickle (Achaar)
